Defensive Backfield Strategy Exercise

Time to put on your DC hat and develop a plan to handle the Kentucky WRs.
How would you approach the defensive backfield coverage?
Kenny Darby is by far their #1 and the most explosive threat, yet Nic Anderson has the measurables and can be a threat at times. No doubt they will both be motivated to show out against LSU in a meaningful game.
Something I would consider is, in the first half, manning up on Anderson with Pickett and put Woodland on Darby with bracketed coverage from safety. I believe that physically shutting down/frustrating Anderson and quasi-doubling Darby, paired with an offense which hopefully gets off to a good start will set us up to do more disguised zone blitzing in the second half. If Minchey is put in obvious passing downs against differing coverage that he saw from the first half, I think he turns the ball over.
Obviously, it's not smart to play the same backend coverage the entire game, but from a high level, this is how I might approach it.
Disclaimer: This is just something I do for fun, and wanted to invite others to participate in. I don't claim to know much, just a former HS player who enjoys watching more than just the ball. Lots of folks on this forum who have experience at higher levels, so I thought it a good place to test my theories. I am happy to hear constructive feedback or otherwise.

The WRs are best "handled" via the QB. No?

I would pay a guy on the sideline $3mil/yr to figure this out as I am the last person to make that plan.
I do know this. WRs are not much threat if the QB is on his arse and running for his life. This is Baker's calling card for the most part.

Sure.
Whats the scheme behind the blitz? Zone? Zero?
We bringing the star or backers?
